Clandestine Plasma Physics Research Roadmap

This technological roadmap analyzes a compartmentalized U.S. program involving Field Propulsion Technologies and Lockheed Martin focused on high-energy plasma systems for directed energy and spacetime manipulation. It details the 2014 validation of 3D turbulent magnetic reconnection at Los Alamos National Laboratory and highlights a 2024 defense contract aimed at maturing non-kinetic weapon prototypes. The assessment explores the synthesis of legacy plasma research with modern theoretical physics to enable localized spacetime disruption and advanced propulsion.
